If they knew they won't live a celibate life..why join the priest hood in the first instance. It's just like a soldier who joins the force and doesn't want to go to war.

Which faith of any group can be greater or superior to God commandment, if there parents never married and born them how do they become priest. Any constitution or rule is band to fail with test of time except God commandment that relevant forever

Pope Francis has requested that Roman Catholic priests be given the right to get married.

The request applies to priests in Brazil, and is on the agenda for an upcoming synod (church council) in the Amazon region.

A small number of married Roman Catholic priests already exist, including previously married Anglican vicars who have joined the church.

A request to lift the ban on marriage was made by Brazilian bishop Cardinal Claudio Hummes, who reportedly asked the Pope to consider ‘viri probati’, meaning married of great faith, as priests.

Derry priest Father Paddy O’Kane suggested that Pope Francis may move to end celibacy earlier this month, saying there was support amongst the church for the idea.

Fr O’Kane cited Brazilian liberation theologian Leonardo Boff, who said: “The Brazilian bishops, especially the pope’s own personal friend Cardinal Claudio Hummes, have expressly requested Pope Francis to enable married priest in Brazil to return to pastoral ministry.

“I have recently heard that the pope wants to fulfil this request – as an experimental, preliminary phase for the moment confined to Brazil.”
Earlier this year the Pope told Die Zeit newspaper: ‘We must consider if ‘viri probati’ is a possibility. Then we must determine what tasks they can perform, for example, in remote communities.’

Francis and his predecessor Benedict XVI have both stated that celibacy is not a matter of inflexible church dogma unlike, and could be debated.

Please, it is not priest getting married, rather it is already married men in the remote amazon forests and such getting ordained a priest.

Before they can do that, they have to apologise to those priests whom have departed for denying them such privileges. And also, I think it is a welcome development that will reduce many in regular acts among them...

headline is saying one thing and the actual news is saying another entirely different thing.

“The Brazilian bishops, especially the pope’s own personal friend Cardinal Claudio Hummes, have expressly requested Pope Francis to enable married priest in Brazil to return to pastoral ministry." this is about allowing already MARRIED men become priest not about allowing priests get married.

How come so many Nigerians cannot read and comprehend

Brother priesthood celibacy didn't begin in the time of Jesus Christ neither did He ordain it. If you study the Paul's epistles he even encouraged marriage but only said he would prefer to stay unmarried. He went further to say if you can hold yourself good, but if you can't marry.
I will also like to let you know that Peter who is seen as the rock of the church or the first Pope/Bishop was married.
I really believe that the move of the Pope to make celibacy optional is good and might help put an end to some sex scandals that have plague the church in the past.

Any time u catholic priest are ready to get married, just remember u guys are always welcomed.
'go ye into the world n procreate',that was the number 1 rule.
If the priests ain't supposed to get married,they shouldn't be born with a d!ck n 2 balls.

BlaiseBankss:
Tho there are loads of girls who will love to marry a priest I see no be reason why the Pope should allow marriage because it destroys the Celibacy of priests some will lose focus and start committing adultery because they will be allowed to have carnal knowledge and come to think of it some will be diverting church funds into the training of their children if they give birth later on.
To be married is one:: To be a priest is another

Are you Catholic? celibacy of priests is not about religion or faith but about ensuring Popes don't pass on the papacy as inheritance to their children. Go read about it
